Synopsis

The story of a boy who wasn't born to be a hero.

Waking up in the aftermath of a terrorist attack, 13-year-old Jamal tries to piece together what has happened whilst simultaneously trying to evade capture by the attackers. It soon becomes clear that he has been living in a separate outhouse from his family on account of the "bad-spirits" - his epilepsy. Jamal holds up a mirror to violence-driven societies everywhere.
